A sampling of student opinion on the diag last week revealed that snow and tag days trailed for second place as undesirable gifts. One of the men queried re- versed the trend on tags stating that he was in favor of more tag days. By printing up a supply of tags, he managed to get enough mony to do all his Christmas shopping. The male segment of the popu- lation indicated a resentment against gifts of ties for Christ- mas. Most of them agreed that one should pick out his own ties without the help of others. One student expressed a dis- like of an album of Christmas carols by Dorothy Shay, explain- ing that the singer was not able to furnish the atmosphere for traditional Yuletide songs. Mittens were scorned by a num- ber of women queried. The seven or eight pairs which they had accumulated during several Christmases were enough to last them for quite a while, they ex- plained. TRANSCRIBED NOELS: Local Disc Dealers Foresee Record Christmas Carolling By THOMAS PARSONS , The carols of Christmas will beI heard in more of Ann Arbor's homes and dorms this Noel sea- son than in any year of the past. That is the concensus of three out of four local record dealers, who, after an unsurpassed week- long run on the classic Christ- mas discs, have decided that- musically speaking at least - Christmas spirit is certainly not lacking in Ann Arbor. Classics Popular Classical records as a whole, in fact, have at last begun to out- Briton Hails Marshall As 'Wonderful Santa' LONDON, Dec. 13-(AP)-U.S. Secretary of State Marshall is "the most wonderful Santa Claus the world has ever seen," accord- ing to Cyril Osborne, conservative member of Parliament. "His plan is history's greatest Christmas box," Osborne said in a speech today at Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, "England should give the lead to Europe by express- ing her thanks for this most as- tonishing act of generosity, for the Americans are tightening their own belts to give away food they have grown by the sweat of their brow." strip their jivey "brothahs' in saleability, the record vendors add- ed, with a distinct sigh of relief. And a hitherto little known var- iety-children's records-have al- so been rapidly climbing toward the top in popularity during the past year. An interesting innovation in the kiddies' department is-listen closely, you who are still wonder- ing what will please Janie or Jimmy Dec. 25-the introduction of classics for children in specially edited, much abridged albums which are guaranteed to catch the ear and heart almost of any three to eight years old. More Mozart One dealer in classical records amusingl yremarked that not in months had he sold as much 'Mo- zart' as has crossed his counter since the Boston Symphony con- cert last Tuesday. And taking their cue from this something- more-than-accidental phenomena which attends every local concert of unusual excellence, the local dealers have already stocked up on 'Messiah' albums, and are sending in their orders for Myra Hess' works. As one dealer maintains, "Mere- ly providing Ann Arbor with a portion of its musical diet, is as much a pleasure as a job. Books Simplify Gift Shopping For Children The problem of what to get junior for Christmas has been simplified by the efforts of book publishers, t o y manufacturers and child psychologists. Lately, the children's books have had much attention paid to them, with special emphasis on what the various age groups like. The result can be seen in the large assortment of books that appeal to children. The local book stores have pretty complete stocks of all age levels. According to Miss Hazel Keed- le, of the Ann Arbor Public lib- rary, the tots like stories about things they know and about what children of other lands do, while the 9-13 group likes fairy tales and pioneer stories. The favorites of the junior high school crowd are mysteries, dog and horse tales and career stories. Something new for the chil- dren is the complete battery of records for them. These are de- lightful and offer Mother Goose, Tuby the Tuby and most of the children's classics. Some have reading material accompanying them and many are unbreakable. These too are arranged by the age groups they interest. If you feel that a toy would be more appreciated, art and con- struction sets are highly recom- mended and very popular with the children. Theft of Trees BeginsAgain Again the mysterious rotation of Christmas trees among the men's residences has begun. About' 175 Alpha Tau Omega and Anderson House men joined forces last week and stormed the Sigma Epsilon House in an all- out attempt to retrieve stolen Christmas trees. Rumors attributing the deeds to the Sig Eps resulted in the raid by the ATO and Anderson men. The leaders of the attack force demanded a search of the house. No trees were revealed, but an abundance of pine needles was strewn around. The attacked at- tributed these incriminating rem- nants to Christmas wreaths and a tree stolen from them the night before. With the onslaught of such events several of the men's houses are setting up elaborate Christ- mas tree defense systems. For ex- ample, the SAE tree is well-pro- tected by three concealed hand grenades, six electric burglar a- larms and an hourly watch, ac- cording to SAE sources.
